He said the Giavernment in the United Kingdom had made cleari their view that the attempt to abolish the Parliamentary oath in the Irish Free State was in direct conflict with the obligations un- dertaken by the Irish Free State under the Treaty of 1921, This was confrmed by the form of the Irish Free State legislation.
.FUNDAMENTAL BASIS.
"The Trenty was the fundamental) basis of the position of the Irish
Free State and, in order to achieve
their object, the Irish Free State; Government had been compelled; to include in their legislation clauses purporting not only toi abolish the requirement of the Parliamentary oath but also to ropeal those provisions of the!
